Guest Reports:
Sergeant Dial: Introduced himself and Ofc. McLaughlin. He shared that TPD had hired 3 new Community Security Officers (CSO). The CSO's hours have been extended to 3am. Our area CSO is Montserrat Rangel (Monce). Ofc. Dial's contact information is: 520-269-1405, dustin.dial@az.gov. A question was asked as to how we can slow down speeders especially on Park? Sgt. Dial suggested we talk with the Traffic Division Motor Sergeant. Perhaps they can set up a hot spot team.
Rosemary shared that she will be scheduling a Safety Meeting in the near future and will invite Dollar Tree and Sausage Deli and McDonald's along with the other neighborhood representatives.
Chelsea Gutierrez and Paul Patterson: Attended the meeting to discuss the recent anti-Semitic flyers that were distributed in JP. She explained that we should not put the flyers on social media as that is what they are hoping we will do so they get even more exposure. If we find more in the neighborhood to send them to TPD or JFSAZ, you can take a picture or scan the flyer and then email it to: c.gutierrez@jewishtucson.org. or p.patterson@jewishtucson.org and include the address where found. Hate Crimes are a priority, but you may not see the results of the investigations for some time. They also shared that the FBI is involved. The neighborhood near Swan and Sunrise was also targeted.
Nicholas McCullough: Nicholas shared that Period Poverty Drive collected 13,942 period products.
CJ Boyd, Ward 3: The office has slowed down a bit for the summer. The unhoused forum was successful. Samos neighborhood is interested in working with JP to see how we were able to get the linear park funded. It was suggested they talk with the Grant Road Coalition.
